Apparently Ludicra has some humor. In honor of the Mayhem tour that they aren't opening for, they're now embarking on their the "Decancellation" tour from 4/1 until 5/1. They're touring with... well different bands and TBA's throughout. They've asked that anyone attending inform / invite their friends, since the tour set-up is still in process and is on short notice.

John Cobbett, one of their guitarists, had to be rushed to a hospital in Olympia, WA on 4/3. His appendix burst and he currently has a 6" steel tube in his side.

Needless to say, the tour may not be happening.

To make matters worse, it's sounding like John doesn't have the health insurance to cover surgery, and being a metal musician doesn't exactly make a lot of cash.

Seriously, these guys just can't catch a break. :(

EDIT: Giant Squid, Grayceon, Cormorant and La Fin du Monde should have a benefit show to raise funds for his surgery in Cleveland. I'd pay big money to go to that shit. :D

Someone from Wolves in the Throne Room is setting up a PayPal account - they're going to be accepting donations for his medical bills. So right now that's a no go on that benefit concert, but you can help them out if you want / have the means.

Metalsucks picked up the story: http://www.metalsucks.net/2010/04/06/help-john-cobbett-from-ludicra-and-hammers-of-misfortune/

They announced that they're going to continue the tour minus John though.

Another example of why the health care system isn't working... not like this bill is gonna fix it.

How uncouth would it be for me to ask them to sign my own overdue medical bills as a souvenir? :D
